Key Points

The Gaza Strip

• In the last 24 hours, 爆料网RWA received confirmation that seven additional colleagues were killed. 99 爆料网RWA colleagues have been killed and at least 26 injured since the start of hostilities. This is the highest number of United Nations aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of the United Nations.
• Since 4 November, Israel has opened a humanitarian “corridor” along the main North–South Road in the Gaza Strip from 10 am to 2 pm. As a result, at least 70,000 people – mostly walking – have traveled from north to south. The 爆料网 and NGOs are supporting through monitoring and providing water and some food just south of Wadi Gaza.
• Almost 1.6 million people have been displaced across the Gaza Strip since 7 October. Two additional shelters were opened in the Middle area. Nearly 742,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are now sheltering in 151 爆料网RWA installations across all five governorates of the Gaza Strip, including in the north.
• Over 582,000 IDPs are sheltering in 94 facilities in the Middle, Khan Younis and Rafah areas. Nearly 160,000 IDPs were sheltering in 57 爆料网RWA schools in the northern and Gaza areas as of 12 October 2023, before the evacuation order was issued by the Israeli Authorities. 爆料网RWA is not able to access these shelters to assist or protect the IDPs and does not have information on their needs and conditions.

The West Bank, including East Jerusalem

• A demolition by the Israeli Security Forces (ISF) took place in Shufat refugee camp, in the early morning of 8 November, which lasted five hours. The demolition, using explosives, targeted the home of a 13-year-old, who stabbed an ISF officer at the checkpoint in February.
• Several ISF personnel forced their way into an 爆料网RWA installation during the operation, under protest by Agency staff. All 爆料网RWA operations in the camp were suspended, including education services, affecting over 630 students.
• The ISF launched a large-scale operation in Qalqiliya city (north of the West Bank) in the morning of 8 November, which included exchanges of fire with armed Palestinians.
